How to rapidly adapt to new tasks and improve model generalization through few-shot learning remains a significant challenge in meta-learning. Model-Agnostic Meta-Learning (MAML) has become a powerful approach, with offers a simple framework with excellent generality. However, the requirement to compute second-order derivatives and retain a lengthy calculation graph poses considerable computational and memory burdens, limiting the practicality of MAML. To address this issue, we propose Evolving MAML (Evo-MAML), an optimization-based meta-learning method that incorporates evolving gradient within the inner loop. Evo-MAML avoids the second-order information, resulting in reduced computational complexity. Experimental results show that Evo-MAML exhibits higher generality and competitive performance when compared to existing first-order approximation approaches, making it suitable for both few-shot learning and meta-reinforcement learning settings.

Satellite communication systems are increasingly facing serious environmental challenges such as malicious jamming, monitoring, and intercepting. As a current development of artificial intelligence, intelligent jammers with learning ability can effectively perceive the surrounding spectrum environment to dynamically change their jamming strategies. As a result, the current mainstream satellite communication anti-jamming technology based on wide interval high-speed frequency hopping is unable to deal with this problem effectively. In this work, we focus on anti-jamming problems in the satellite communication domain, and reformulate the power allocation problem under two kinds of confrontation scenarios as one-shot and repeated games model. Specifically, for the problem of multi-channel power allocation under a one-shot confrontation scenario, we firstly model the problem of allocating limited power resource between communication parties and a jammer on multi-channel based on a BG (Blotto Game) model. Secondly, a DO-SINR (Double Oracle-Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio) algorithm is designed to approximate the Nash equilibrium of the game between two parties. Experiments show that the DO-SINR algorithm can effectively obtain the approximate Nash equilibrium of the game. For the problem of multi-channel power allocation under a repeated confrontation scenario, we firstly transform the problem into an online shortest path problem with a graph structure to make the problem solving process more intuitive, and then design the Exp3-U (Exp3-Uniform) algorithm which utilizes the graph structure to solve the multi-channel power allocation problem. Experiments show that our algorithm can minimize the expected regret of communication parties during online confrontation, while maintaining good operating efficiency. The two power allocation problems constructed in this paper are common problem formed in confrontation scenarios. Our research and analysis can simulate some actual confrontation scenarios of the satellite communication power allocation, which can be used to improve the adaptability of satellite communication systems in complex environments.

Addressing the technical challenges in detecting Low-Slow-Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (LSS-UAV) cluster targets, such as weak signals and complex environmental interference coupling with strong features, this paper proposes a visible-infrared multi-modal fusion detection method based on deep learning. The method utilizes deep learning techniques to separately identify morphological features in visible light images and thermal radiation features in infrared images. A hierarchical multi-modal fusion framework integrating feature-level and decision-level fusion is designed, incorporating an Environment-Aware Dynamic Weighting (EADW) mechanism and Dempster-Shafer evidence theory (D-S evidence theory). This framework effectively leverages the complementary advantages of feature-level and decision-level fusion. This effectively enhances the detection and recognition capability, as well as the system robustness, for LSS-UAV cluster targets in complex environments. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves a detection accuracy of 93.5% for LSS-UAV clusters in complex urban environments, representing an average improvement of 18.7% compared to single-modal methods, while the false alarm rate is reduced to 4.2%. Furthermore, the method demonstrates strong environmental adaptability, maintaining high performance under challenging conditions such as nighttime and haze. This method provides an efficient and reliable technical solution for LSS-UAV cluster target detection.

This study addressed a problem of rapid velocity consensus within a swarm of unmanned aerial vehicles. Our analytical framework was based on tools using matrix theory and algebraic graph theory. We established connections between algebraic connectivity and the speed of converging on a velocity. The relationship between algebraic connectivity and communication cost was established. To deal with the trade-off among algebraic connectivity, convergence speed and communication cost, we propose a distributed small world network construction method. The small world network characteristics expedite the convergence speed toward consensus in the unmanned aerial vehicle swarm. Eventually, our method greatly sped up the consensus velocities in the unmanned aerial vehicle swarms at a lower communication cost than other methods required.
